As I walked the entire area I realized that the unique terrain accompanied by changing tides and weather conditions make this area is a photographic gold mine.

Trip Report

As December marks the onset of winter it also marks the end of my first year living in South Korea. In the months prior to moving to Seoul I had unknowingly taken my first shots as an amateur photographer in Okinawa, New York City and Washington DC.

This was when the area around Bangkok was still dry, in the Bang Bua Thong area. Ominous signs of flooding were already around. The detour I was forced to take to the office led me past this place.

This was one of my most enjoyable trips to the Kingdom where the laid back atmosphere of Krabi provided just the right mix of what I wanted. The Thais were awesome and didn’t seem negatively influenced by the tourism industry. The samlor drivers were plentiful and not pesky.

Years ago I would visit Samed Island regularly as a quiet getaway when traveling around Thailand and the bordering countries, it was the place to go when I had overspent elsewhere, here I would slow down and recover before moving on. Now I visit less often as the motor boats and jet skis slowly take over the nicest beaches.

The whales migrate up the east coast of Australia in June to the tropical waters of the Whitsunday Islands where they calve before heading back to the Antarctic.

Suanpalm Farmnok (bird farm) has long been on my “must visit” list for a number of reasons, but mostly because after being owned by a couple parrots for the last ten years I’ve developed a keen interest in these fascinating creatures.
